Do your research on the history of women's rights
The theme for Women's History Month 2021 is 'Choose to Challenge', which highlights women who have worked hard to advance women's rights but faced issues that transcend to the present day.

Watch inspiring interviews and documentaries about women
What better way to understand the journey of women by hearing it from them directly? Watching documentaries, interviews, or even Ted Talks to unpack and get a glimpse of some of the fantastic contributions of prolific and fearless women across the world.'
My personal favorite Ted Talks Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "We should all be feminists" and The danger of a single story."

Mentor women or girls
There is nothing like giving back to women and girls through the power of mentorship. It encourages open dialogue and helps women feel and become the best version of themselves while encouraging growth and a sense of community. Programs such as Ellevate and Girls Inc are a great start.
Spread awareness on social media
Sharing memes, infographics, posts, inspirational quotes from community leaders, and other Women's History Month pioneers on social media platforms are welcomed. It is also an easy way to highlight the importance of the trials and tribulations women have endured and continue to go through to gain equality in this lifetime.
Support women-centered businesses
Despite numerous women-owned businesses emerging on the scene, women are unfortunately few and far between when it comes to representation in the business world. Showing support for these entrepreneurs and leaders as much as possible is an integral step towards complete solidarity.
Write a letter to yourself, affirming your self-love
Sometimes as women, we can be our own worst critics. To avoid this, take out a piece of paper and pen or your cell phone and write some encouraging things to yourself such as "I love me," "I'm proud of me," or create a list of things that you admire about yourself. We all deserve to have that boost of confidence!
